Single Ended Triodes (SETs), the ultimate tube lovers dream.

RE: You are right.

My speakers are about 97db for one watt. Because of the gain structure of my system I can only get 2 watts from my 300b amplifiers. I only play midrange and treble with my tube amplifiers crossing to a SS amp at 200Hz into a pair of JBL 2231's.

That gives me a peak volume (assuming I'm in the reverberant sound field and I am) of 103db. This means if the peak over average range of the music I listen to is 16db, I can listen at 87db average.

Your speakers are 95db for 2 watts. That's 92db one watt. So with two speakers and .6 watts per speaker that's just a little over 92db peak total.

Listening to the same music as me, your average listening level (while not clipping the peaks) would be just a little over 76db.
